When it comes to hair appointments, it’s a common misconception that arriving with dirty hair is beneficial for your hairstylist. In reality, this often complicates the process. Many clients may not realize that if there’s buildup of oils from products like dry shampoo, it can be challenging for us to work effectively, especially for services like root touch-ups.

When hair is not clean, we may have to wash it first, sometimes even using a clarifier to break through the grime. This extra step can add 30 to 45 minutes to your appointment time and can throw off our schedule. Moreover, applying color on roots that are covered in oils and products doesn’t yield the best results, which in turn can lead to client dissatisfaction.

The Best Way to Prep Your Hair for Your Appointment

✔ For Color Services: Wash your hair the night before or morning of your appointment using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Avoid dry shampoo, heavy conditioners, and styling products before your visit.

✔ For Styling Appointments: Arrive with clean, dry hair free of any heavy oils or hairspray so your stylist can work with a fresh canvas.

✔ For Extension Services: Wash and dry your hair thoroughly before your appointment—no oils, leave-in conditioners, or serums to ensure proper application.

💖 So, as a favor to your hairstylist, we kindly request that you come to your appointment with clean hair, free from any styling products. We truly appreciate your cooperation, and it helps us provide you with the best service and results possible.
